I was well Behaved!

I must have been well behaved this year because Santa kicked some serious butt! I received everything I wanted and then some.
I had a terrific Christmas Eve at Katie's house: We ate and ate and ate... And watched some HILARIOUS videos with everyone. I gave Piper a Christmas present that literally made her so excited that she leaped up and when I wasn't looking TACKLED me to the ground. I was on my back laughing as she was yelling, "Thank you May May, THANK YOU MAY MAY!" That made me feel really awesome! My mom gave me an over night bag, which I have been wanting one anyway, but that's not the great part: It's a BETTY BOOP over night bag. I love it! Then we played some games, shared some really funny stories, and laughed almost all night. Rich was being awesome and sticking it out by staying as late as we did with his back feeling as bad as it did. Thanks Rich!
We came home that night, feeling tired and dreading taking care of all the dogs after being gone for so long, I knew they were going to have a ton of energy. We unpacked everything and settled in and let the dogs run ramped for a while, and decided to watch Step Brothers. We were laughing and relaxing when we realized, "We get to open ONE present today!" We just happened to pick one of our favorites, we didn't know we were going to get it at all. We actually almost bought it ourselves, the Wii Fitness Pad! So, of course, all the sudden we had renewed energy and played with it for the rest of the night (after we finished the movie).
I layed my head down that night extremely excited for morning. I awoke at 4 AM, then again at 5 AM, again at 5:30 AM. That all would have been fine, but I promised Rich that the earliest I'd wake him was 7:30 AM. I layed there awake the whole time, watching the minutes tick like the clock had molasses in it. When 7:30 AM struck I bounced out of that bed like you wouldn't believe. Rich wasn't happy, he was my morning time Grinch. I was so pumped and had to coax him out of bed.
We finally we're ready to start the day: We opened out gifts, which we had plenty of, and we were so very happy. I received things I didn't ask anyone for but had been needing (mind readers helped me there). It was great, I am thrilled.
Then we went to Annette's, and this is where we each get out gifts from Santa (also probably my favorite part so far), and Santa brought me my Garmin GPS unit!!! I'm thrilled. Rich was given exactly what he was dreaming of as well, his AMP, even though he had no idea and thought it wouldn't/couldn't ever be his.
We brought Erik and Annette's gifts as well, which they were thrilled with (Although, I think everyone really enjoyed what we got Erik, we all played with it all day). His Real Flight, and his heli. Of course the Scratchers where a hit too. I think all-in-all, everyone was happy. I know Timmy loved his gift.
Then we hung out playing with everything, until we had to get ready to move forward with the day. Annette and I went to my appt. to bring the AMP in and get the dogs to put them in Grandma's backyard to get energy out while we had Christmas Dinner. That was really pleasent, it looked like everyone had a good time. I sure did. It was nice!
We all left from there and now I'm writing this, but in 15 minutes I'm picking up my niece Stephanie and we're going to the movies to see Marley and Me which I'm excited about. It's going to be Annette, Erik, Rich, Stephanie and I. I'm going to let Stephanie pick and eat anything she wants for Christmas. Over load on:

• Popcorn
• Soda
• Candy
• Pretzels
• Hot-dogs
• Pizza

Basically, anything that the movie theater can provide for her to endulge in. :-) I'm off and thank you Lord for a WONDERFULLY well crafted day! WHOOT!
